Oooooopsss

Day 7, 8th January 2012


There's only one way for sinners, and gear that does not work. 350D, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

Uhuh, it's a cliche. So is the photo.

I am playing with this idea a bit, I might do some with me or someone else in it instead. I just wanted to see how easy it would be to do this, and it aint too hard.

Today is/was Sunday. I had a baby shoot lined up, and got up at 6am to be ready for it. My instructions were "baby feeds for 1 hr anytime from 8-10, then sleeps solid after the morning feed. So I was up at 6, car packed, gear had been charged/formatted/dogpiss-washed-off last night. Had breakfast and coffee, and was aimlessly cleaning ang checking my phone every minute to see if the "I am feeding baby" message to come. I think it came at 9:57am. I could have had 2 hours more sleep! So I made my way there to arrive after the 1hr feeding time.

On arrival, the bubs was not happy to not be in her bed, and not wrapped and comfy for her sleep, so after 2hrs of trying to get her to sleep and/or pose, we decided to can the session, and I packed up and left. I think I got one pic I will send to the parents, but nothing really worth keeping.

Upon coming home I had to run and do a few errands, try to find a Mac Mini or some decent PC of similar pricing in store. No luck with that, I will go to an Apple store tomorrow at lunch (I hope). I am shopping for a desktop for my wife. I want something of decent build but not too costly, and I don't really want to pay for an LCD/keyboard we wont use (ie no cheap laptops). Most desktop PC's I have looked at in the last week don't have wireless built in - why is this? Does every house have ethernet cables out of every wall? Or are people happy to trip over cables? Or is it just expected we will fork out more for the wireless? Take up a USB hub with a wireless dongle?

Bah! Mac Mini has built in. And it looks so cool :)

Then I returned home, and was hoping to try some outdoor pics of plants with water drops, but the skies opened fully, so I gave up on that too.

The resulting image - shot with canon 60D, 85mm f/1.8, shot at f/2.8 I think, with 580EXII on-board, bounced behind me.
